    What is The Meaning of Riding the Clutch?

    Riding the clutch means that the clutch must be in between fully depressed a.k.a clutch plates disengaged and fully released a.k.a clutch plates engaged. The execution of riding the clutch depends on every driver and each circumstance.

    Here are some events when you can ride your clutch:

    • TRAFFIC JAM

    Riding the clutch is best when you are stationary in traffic. This is true, especially when the car in your front is continuously moving backwards and forwards. The driver of that car is holding the car by riding the clutch. This move is not dangerous provided that riding the clutch is done appropriately. If you are in a stationary position during the traffic, you must pull the handbrake. If it took for a longer period, you must take a shift into neutral. 

    • LONG DRIVE

    The perfect moment to ride the clutch is all throughout your driving. It is a better idea to drive while resting and keeping your foot on the clutch. If you are not using the clutch for a few minutes, then itโ€™s a good idea to remove your foot and let it rest on the floor.

    • MASTERING HOW TO DRIVE

    The first thing that every aspiring manual driver needs to calibrate is the clutch bite point while practicing the overall clutch bite control. Navigating the clutch bite point is the best method to avoid stalling the car when driving. Once the student driver gained confidence with their capacity to find the clutch bite point and to control it, they are ready to ride the clutch. It should also be taught that this method is advantageous in many ways.  

    Why Does My Leg Stiff When Riding The Clutch? 

    Actually, being overweight is a common cause of leg stiffness based on this analysis by Total Shape. If you feel heavy legs while riding the clutch, maybe there are certain body conditions that you need to understand.

    Feeling heavy legs for the first time drivers is totally normal and expected. Legs may feel weighed down, stiff, and fatigue even for a week. If you are not a new driver and experience leg stiffness from time to time, it may be a sign of a certain condition.

    It is important to determine the cause to find the best treatment. There are also some useful home remedies to find relief from some symptoms. The pain that you feel in your legs may vary depending on the severity of your symptoms. It is highly recommendable to consult your doctor to make a full diagnosis.

    Below are some causes of leg stiffness:

    • Being Overweight or Obese

    If your weight is heavier than normal, it could influence several other illnesses that cause leg fatigue. Having extra weight can give more pressure on the joints, muscles, and tendons. This happens when a person drives or stands for long periods throughout the day.

    An overweight person with a daily routine that requires sedentary movement might also have blood circulation problems. This activity can also worsen the heaviness in the legs. Being overweight is a risk factor for other illnesses such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Losing weight may help reduce symptoms and you can find out here for more. 

    • Restless Leg Syndrome

    RLS or restless leg syndrome often causes an involuntary feeling in the legs that is shaky, jittery, and numb. The basic relief is to keep your legs moving from time to time. It is also good to tap your feet and massage them a bit.

    Final Thoughts

    Riding the clutch is a useful method when you are driving a manual vehicle. It has a lot of benefits when done correctly and responsibly. It is also common to experience leg stiffness when riding the clutch. Always consult your doctor if the pain wonโ€™t easily go away.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye ๐Ÿ˜‰ 

It pulls properly hard, doesnโ€™t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
